Re: 2013 Golf Season Thread

This piece is our prized creation so far, and we're pretty proud of it. If you guys like it and wouldn't mind sharing with other golf fans, it would be greatly appreciated. Apologies for spamming, but figured many here would be entertained. Criticism welcome as well!

That's some really entertaining stuff.

It may also have given me some ideas for the ole golf club for when winter breaks. And yes, I will be working with a new swing coach this year.

Re: 2013 Golf Season Thread

That was hilarious. Great job!

Re: 2013 Golf Season Thread

I'm hoping this is the week for Kokrak. He's spent a lot of time on the top part of the leaderboard in early rounds this season, and one of these days he's gonna throw up a crazy low number on a Saturday or Sunday and win one of these things.

That's incredible. I laughed so freaking hard at that, I can't wait to incorporate that into my next round.

Jimmy Walker has a six-stroke lead after three rounds at Pebble Beach. Dyn-o-mite! Actually, Mr. Walker is having one heckuva 2014 so far. He won the Sony Open in January and is well on his way to his second win on the young season.

Re: 2013 Golf Season Thread

Any and all criticism is welcome, honestly. We've only been up and running for a month. It's been really fun, and addicting.

We're accepting all ideas for "Part 2" to that piece as well!

This is great- hugely funny and well written. The only problem I have is that I play with some guys who, without irony, actually do some of this stuff.

Sometimes I feel like a whole book could be written on the characteristics of golf culture, from the country club members who pimp out their own carts and size each others' net worth up on the practice green to the middle class muni players who act like they own their table at the grill.

I've always gravitated towards the guys who can play, and who do it without all that posing, or without a new set of clubs every two years, and who can play a sand wedge on any shot from 100 yards in, but who don't make a big show of it. Maybe it's just guys being guys, but there's a lot of material to be mined for a good writer there if you're jaded, cynical and cranky. And yes, I play a lot of golf by myself...

He is on fire. With the PGA Tour now starting each season after the Tour Championship, it'd actually be his 3rd win this "season".

On a side note, his caddie is his good friend Andy Sanders who grew up in Cincinnati. Andy is a great player as well having won the state championship twice and played on the Web.com Tour before he stopped playing due to medical reasons.

Re: 2013 Golf Season Thread

You need to take a routine drop, but the stakes are high. You pull out your cell-piece to summon the assistant club pro (same one you clashed with earlier at the practice facility) to the farthest point on the course to give you a ruling. You refer to him as “Slugger” and take an inordinate amount of time getting the proper drop. Meanwhile, the rest of your group has finished the hole.

Board Moderators may, at their discretion and judgment, delete and/or edit any messages that violate any of the following guidelines: 1. Explicit references to alleged illegal or unlawful acts. 2. Graphic sexual descriptions. 3. Racial or ethnic slurs. 4. Use of edgy language (including masked profanity). 5. Direct personal attacks, flames, fights, trolling, baiting, name-calling, general nuisance, excessive player criticism or anything along those lines. 6. Posting spam. 7. Each person may have only one user account. It is fine to be critical here - that's what this board is for. But let's not beat a subject or a player to death, please.

Thank you, and most
importantly, enjoy yourselves!
